Stirrup spout vessel; squatting man with bag on his back
The sitting or squatting man is a standard motif. He is clothed in a kind of shirt, the sleeves of which seem to be empty, while the hands protrude from the front. It seems to be a meditative posture, possibly related to a ritual. The bag on his back may have contained coca leaves for ritual cleansing.
